In plain words

SoloUno is a self-help app for people struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors like hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting.

SoloUno helps people take control over body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), and nail biting.

Thanks to everyone who supported SoloUno and helped us reach the Product Hunt podium. 💜 "Every time the urge comes, I open an urge session - and usually in less than 10 seconds it passes ." " After about two very successful months, from the moment I downloaded the app I stopped the habit completely. I'm getting better every day" " After the first week using the app, I started seeing a change in my face . The redness decreased significantly, and my motivation rose a lot" "For the past 14 years I’ve worn artificial nails, but it didn’t really help. I’d bite the polish, break the acrylic, and the habit never stopped. T hen I found the SoloUno app ." "In the past, every attempt to quit ended…from solouno.io

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
